Adolescents are being fed content addictively by the algorithms on social media platforms. Social media platforms do this because their revenue comes from advertising. The longer people stay there, the more ads they see, and the more the platforms earn. As a result, it is the teenagers' parents' onus to help them fight the addiction. However, it's a losing battle, since teenagers spend a long time on social media.

In the contemporary world, the growing number of adolescents addicted to social media platforms has been posing a serious threat to society and that could cause several issues for children. Firstly, in terms of health, teens who spend more than 3 hours on social media on a daily basis are likely to be double the risk of developing depression and anxiety. This is because all social media apps use an algorithm that prioritizes and personalizes the content a user sees. So that they are easily fed hate-based content in an addictive way. Secondly, In terms of studying, those who are addicted to social media apps tend to have bad academic results. In fact, they immerse themselves in surfing and chatting with friends all day so that they don't have time for their studies. For example, my brother who regularly plays truant to play video games could not pass the final exam recently.
Wow it was a awesome. The new vocab explained clearly and easy to follow. You give me a value lesson about heath. Social media have tremendous impact on teenage, even all people spend lots of time using social media.

All in all, I highly recommend to every one to stop using on social more than one hour per day or less than,.

We didn't have any network in our country for 4days.although it was a difficult situation for us rather than our mental health may be better in this time.we have got lots of time in our hand for spending time on our family, playing outdoor games , sleeping in a right time , taking food in time etc.we do it properly. Nowadays, everyone not only adolescent but also adults addicted on social media a lot. It kills our creativity.I think the use of social media should be prohibited in few fields. Most of the people do watch unnecessary things in social media &they kills their valuable time. I am very concerned about this matter.
